Google Maps and Crisis Pregnancy Centers Sign On Letter
Dear Mr. Pichai and Mr. Phillips,
We are writing to ask that Google stop accepting advertisements from anti-abortion clinics, including Crisis Pregnancy Centers, due to their intentionally misleading and harmful impacts on people seeking reproductive health services.
As you know, the Supreme Court’s ruling on Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization opened the door for states across the country to enact restrictions on abortion care, including outright bans and criminalization.
We believe Big Tech companies like Google have the power to protect their users from disinformation, misinformation, privacy intrusions, and harassment when they utilize your search and location services, including Google Maps and Google search.

Coalition Letter to the White House and State Department on the US Periodic Report to the UN Human Rights Committee Under The ICCPR
The undersigned organizations call on the Biden administration to update the United States’ fifth periodic report to the UN Human Rights Committee under the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR). The Committee will be basing its review on this report, which was submitted by the Trump administration on January 15, 2021. This report version lacks updates on existing U.S. policies, as well as a commitment to expand protections for marginalized communities, especially non-citizens, in the context of reproductive health and access to medical care. It is critical — and consistent with the Biden administration’s policy commitments — to address the gaps between current U.S. policies and the ICCPR.
